Directions

  • Mix broth, ham, and ham bone into leek mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat until soup is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.

  • Blend yogurt, egg yolks, salt, and pepper together in a blender or food processor until smooth; carefully stir into soup. Cook soup until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Remove and discard ham bone.

Cook's Notes:

The chicken broth can be replaced with half chicken broth and half water, if desired.

Fresh spinach can be used in place of the frozen, if desired. If so, cook spinach in boiling water and drain well.

Canadian bacon can be used in place of the ham, if desired.
